Trafalgar Square, etc.

On September 4 we went to the British Museum and the National Gallery. There are some pretty incredible exhibits both places, and I look forward to returning for further perusal. We had a couple of class assignments to visit specific exhibits so I saw the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, and an exhibit about landscape painting through the nineteenth century. After walking through the National Gallery, we spent some time walking around Trafalgar Square and then made our way down to Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliment and Buckingham Palace. It was so beautiful. I fully plan to go back.
